Grand Street (Manhattan)

Grand Street is a west-east street in Lower Manhattan, New York City, running from Varick Street in the west to FDR Drive in the east and cutting through SoHo, Chinatown, Little Italy, the Bowery, and the Lower East Side. The Grand Street Ferry operated until the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, and, for this reason, there is also a Grand Street in Brooklyn. During the 1940s, Corleone crime family enforcer Aldo Trapani lived in the "Grand Apartments" on Grand Street while the street was still a part of Little Italy, but he later moved into large hotels upon becoming boss of the Trapani crime family.
